Production
In February 2013, The Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger confirmed the development of two stand-alone films, each individually written by Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg.[14] On February 6, Entertainment Weekly reported that Lucasfilm is working on two films featuring Han Solo and Boba Fett.[15] Disney CFO Jay Rasulo has described the stand-alone films as origin stories.[16] Kathleen Kennedy explained that the stand-alone films will not crossover with the films of the sequel trilogy, stating,

George [Lucas] was so clear as to how that works. The canon that he created was the Star Wars saga. Right now, Episode VII falls within that canon. The spin-off movies, or we may come up with some other way to call those films, they exist within that vast universe that he created. There is no attempt being made to carry characters (from the stand-alone films) in and out of the saga episodes. Consequently, from the creative standpoint, it’s a roadmap that George made pretty clear.
